Interesting bike. Picture 4, especially the bigger version seems to show a serial #SB1015, but with the SB lightly stamped. If that is the serial #, it would almost certainly be a Raleigh.

Hello group,
O.K., so here's my quandary: I'm in the process of liquidating "Aladdin's Cave" as some of youse well know. This is a group of bikes which I purchased in an estate sale type situation.
One of the bikes has got me puzzled a bit. At first I thought that she was a Motobecane 753 Team Champion. But she has British/ISO cups in the bottom bracket ( confirmed this on Sheldon Brown's website (http://sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-bottombrackets.html). So is she a Raleigh? Or another English builder perhaps? Who out there has a knowledgeable answer?
All of the bikes in The Cave were English and from the same mid to late 1970's time period. Whatever she is, she is a very nice 753 bike which I am selling. Take a look at the photos I've posted on wooljersey:

I'm looking for $995.00 plus actual shipping via UPS Ground; packing is included.
Thanks youse one and all,
